Afterward Quotes

There are times when I can find myself in a book, too, for two or three hours. But afterward I have such an urge to go out and reach for other people. Very often they’re not around. There’s also a metaphysical loneliness. We all feel it. The burden of living one’s own life is experiencing sensations that no one else can share. You take a step in a house, you start moving around the house, no one else moves with you. You’re walking by yourself Picture Quote #1

A story: A man fires a rifle for many years, and he goes to war. And afterward he turns the rifle in at the armory, and he believes he’s finished with the rifle. But no matter what else he might do with his hands, love a woman, build a house, change his son’s diaper; his hands remember the rifle Picture Quote #1

We all lose sometimes. We fail to get what we want. Friends and loved ones leave. We make a decision we regret. We try our hardest and come up short. It’s not the losing that defines us. It’s how we lose. It’s what we do afterward Picture Quote #1

Love, like light, is a thing that is enacted better than defined: we know it afterward by the traces it leaves on paper Picture Quote #1

Before you get a dog, you can’t quite imagine what living with one might be like; afterward, you can’t imagine living any other way Picture Quote #1

A lot of people say they love running because of how they feel afterward. Not me. Well, I love that, too, but it’s also so much fun while I’m out there Picture Quote #1

He, who for an ordinary cause, resigns the fate of his patient to mercury, is a vile enemy to the sick; and, if he is tolerably popular, will, in one successful season, have paved the way for the business of life, for he has enough to do, ever afterward, to stop the mercurial breach of the constitutions of his dilapidated patients. He has thrown himself in fearful proximity to death, and has now to fight him at arm’s length as long as the patient maintains a miserable existence Picture Quote #1

I’m too shy for personal appearances, and I’ve found out that anytime I talk about my writing, I can’t do any writing for many weeks afterward Picture Quote #1

What one has most to work and struggle for in painting is to do the work with a great amount of labour and sweat in such a way that it may afterward appear, however much it was laboured upon, to have been done almost quickly and almost without any labour, and very easily, although it was not Picture Quote #1

My way is to seize an image the moment it has formed in my mind, to trap it as a bird and to pin it at once to canvas. Afterward I start to tame it, to master it. I bring it under control and I develop it Picture Quote #1

It is good to have a failure while you’re young because it teaches you so much. For one thing it makes you aware that such a thing can happen to anybody, and once you’ve lived through the worst, you’re never quite as vulnerable afterward Picture Quote #1

It is the secret of the world that all things subsist and do not die, but only retire a little from sight and afterward return again Picture Quote #1

I’m not actually a psychopath. I don’t look evil. People don’t normally want to put me in the same kind of things afterward, so I’m looking forward to people taking a few risks and hopefully seeing me as the character actor that I think I am Picture Quote #1

Opportunity knocks at every man’s door once. On some men’s door it hammers till it breaks down the door and then it goes in and wakes him up if he’s asleep, and ever afterward it works for him as a night watchman Picture Quote #1

The good things in history are usually of very short duration, but afterward have a decisive influence on what happens over long periods of time Picture Quote #1

All we can do in this world is the thing that seems to us the best. We have no concern with the results, except as a guide for the future, and sometimes, years afterward, we see that what seemed like a bitter loss was, in reality, gain Picture Quote #1

In the fields with which we are concerned, knowledge comes only in flashes. The text is the thunder rolling long afterward Picture Quote #1

Even when I think about the fact that energy can become matter and matter can become energy, I have a very strong feeling that there’s something afterward Picture Quote #1
